Sam Smith, “Stay With Me”

Our affection for Sam Smith is at this point almost too well-documented, and he is almost certainly headed for an Adele-style future of raining soulful, acrobatic vocals and canny songwriting all over mainstream radio, but what the hell; here’s “Stay With Me” (not to be confused with the excellent “Safe With Me”) anyway, a song cut from familiar cloth but elevated by that voice.

Elsewhere and also new: Sylvan Esso’s delightful video for “Coffee,” a blissed, droning track from SZA and Chance The Rapper, and a wonderful new one from IYES.
